Jari's responded to my proposal of converting the Finale user manual from ~.pdf to ~.htm format by writing

That means you have to have some kind of search engine on your computer, which is not the case for everyone.

Acrobat Search is available in Acrobat Reader.

to which Dennis responded

Yes, I know. I meant, in reply to Noel's question, that if the manual were in html instead of pdf, you'd need some other way to search.

and I would note that if the manual were in html, it would be opened by html compliant browers, which do provide similar searching and linking capbilities to what is now provided by the Acrobat suite. What prompted me to consider the idea, was observing that a manual for another package, which was longer than the Finale User manual, with about the same number of links, loaded the browser and the manual much more quickly than the user manual loads in Finale.
